Our Story

We have created our yoga & surf retreats based on inspirations we have found along our journey and added them with a touch of our own. What makes The Salty Pelican retreats stand out from the rest - is that we are experienced travelers just like yourselves and we understand all the needs you may have whilst staying with us. We have extensive knowledge to share with you about about Sri Lanka and your future travels... we can't wait to meet you.
